Lynyrd Skynyrd Free Bird Solo On Screen Tips

[54peper]

NICE WORK!!!!!!!



[msciascia08]

Nice work thats what it takes I know I learned from ear and thats tough. Not many videos to watch when I was young just a record or cassette tape wore many of them out. Nothing like putting on a set of headphones and woodshedding it to learn it on your own makes one feel a sense of accomplishment.

[CodyJJ1993]

Awesome Dude!

[banzaimotorcross]

That was so good I DAMN NEAR CRIED.. .

[AJEJEBRAZOF100]

Very nice! Which pick up you are using?

[bluestreetcar]

@AJEJEBRAZOF100 / I am using the bridge pick up in back. It's a stock Dean Z 79 series re-issue. Thanks for asking.

Your Pal,

TommyBlue

[jrack13]

oh shit!!!

[bluestreetcar]

@jrack13 / thanks:D

[baadshepherd]

Definitely not going to learn this in one sitting.

[dime1046]

brutal

[cliffthelightning]

I have that guitar but i have different pickups

[Laykoz7]

you are great! play guitar with you was fun! was the best! you are not like others playing free bird and I want to sleep. you have 100% feeling to play! 5/5!!!!

[brettandtyler1]

sick!!!!...nice ghutar

[samjbrowne]

This was excellent and very instructive, obviously not a solo for beginners but for someone with a few years of playing under their belt your tips and close up playing were very helpful. As someone else said, this is the best I've seen on youtube.

[werelost1]

i cant believe i can actually play this right thanks to this vid...thanks very much

[scorpionsG13]

Dean?

[MPpeppusz]

shit



[zzebowa]

one of the best versions on youube

[r3x97]

dude, you sounded good and everything, i just think you were outta tune but all in all a good job

[bopboptutu]

Its in Gm , if u know the basic scale , this solo is easy to hit, more of right hand picking techniqe plated here

[PennybagDarrell]

is that a dean z?

[acerocket77912]

Very awesome and thanks for the post!

[LedStraitsify]

thats pretty good. any tips tbqa to recommend online?? any tips on the setting for you r amp/pedal?? good job

[Rees473]

I need a serious video lesson for this solo!

Help?

[RossingtonProdigy]

very nice

[hiladelphia]

@wijaya47 bend the string and pick it when u bend its easy

[A2retardproduction]

kick ass guitar man, would have done allen proud

[AgowTisro]

Me and one of the other guitarist from my school's jazz band jammed this song yesterday =D. Only our solo lasted about 30 minutes because we didn't know/want to end it lol. Original solo is so easy, and fun to improv over.

[Aivopiirakka]

0:35, you write "One of the most misplayed riffs..." but you don't explain the right way to play it?

[bluestreetcar]

@Aivopiirakka /Hold your pick still & bend the B string (at the 18th fret) pass the pick and pull back down, pull off to the 15th fret.

The 1st note is played on the up stroke.

The 2nd is heard when it's pulled down.

The 3rd is heard when the B string is pulled off from

the 18th fret to the 15th fret.

Don't move your pick is the "trick".

Good Luck with it all,

TommyBlue

[Aivopiirakka]

@bluestreetcar That makes sense. Thankyou very much!

[bluestreetcar]

click on "Video Responses" for more....LOL back @Boneman612

[thecapris001]

Being trying to get that solo right for years! Great job! I'm getting blisters on my fingers!!!!!!!

[NickFisher1994]

well you havent been playing years then have you...... because you get callusses on the tip's of your finger's with an extended amount of play,

[thecapris001]

It's a figure of speech man! Chill!!!

[JohnBoyTony]

Nice job dude. And I feel your pain. It hurts.

[Masterscotts1]

im looking for a tutorial where it displays the tabs at the right time, because when i play it, it dont sound right, a video would help me with the temp too. excellent playing, but its not all there for me, good to watch still though :)

[hihihi31]

Play it pretty for Atlanta!

[yam225f]

good job dude, how long did it take you to learn that solo?

[ryosukefd]

wow its amazing to see the correct riffs on a you tube vid. 0.O oh and 'real' web cams usualy suck for recording guitar they cant keep up with the small movements of the fingers espesially on a song like this. thanks that was amazing

[regisdrift]

very nice

[gandag0d]

you should do a tutorial .. a slow one.. cause the other ones suck ballss and there mostly wrong

[buckslemonade]

nice Deaqn I play a red ZX

[AJD7DC]

your very good, you played that perfect, and i understand its harder then it looks

[LimparataLB]

Feel the pain...LOL, lol :D

[TonyMcWatt]

I'm surprised your fingers didn't ignite.

very well played by an excellent player- 5 stars

[astrike38]

well ur close to god...

[krismp94]

Good nice!

[buttcheeks541]

regardless of whether or not you can hear it...he's still playing all the correct notes.

[ZASBOND]

yall think this is so awesome? you cant even here what he's playing, just kinda pickin strings, dont even sound like the guitars on.

[bluestreetcar]

And what do you do to contribute to society sir? Get better speakers and "turn it up" as Ronnie says, God bless you & yours pal.

[Lukash9494]

Zasbond upload a video with you playing it with any backing track then somebody will listen to you.

[Acousticshredder24]

How do you play that riff so fast at 1:54? Any tips on how to get up to speed? I keep trying and I fail miserably, how do you get that fast?

[bluestreetcar]

Grab the G string at the 14th fret and bend it up to pitch, then strike the E string at the 12th fret, and finish it off by striking the B string at the 15th fret and pulling off to the 12th fret. LEARN slow at first, the SPEED will follow the more ya practice, thank you and God bless you & yours.

[megabeast16]

amazing

[ZeroVirusEXE]

I'm crying at how great this is and how i could never reach this level of greatness with my guitar skills...

[expchris]

Ok, I think I can stop trying to playing guitar now ;) nice, nice rock n roll tone!

[pyrokilla300]

Don't stop keep trying and soon you will be as good as him

[bluestreetcar]

Keep trying what? I am here doing it. You'll be fine when your meds kick in, hang in there pal.

[sumbody19]

[kinnje1]

[kevalonia]

Excellent work.

[ihaterunescape]

Great vid, looks like youre the one of many others who playing this solo rigth. I really hope that you make a video where you play this slower so you can show us how to play all the riff rigth.

[Stuggibullshit]

how long does it take to learn it?

[Flesky91]

[bluestreetcar]

Yes, it's the "Z" series.

I just bought the "Z" BlackGold last week too!

[jhny777]

Killer man seen a bunch try it but you nailed it!!!

[akaknopfler]

Dude: teach me!

[pocketpython]

good vid, but there was a couple of points where you said that most folks play the riff wrong... would have been better if you said HOW to play it correctly.

All in all though, good vid, good tips, I understand it a lot more now, thanks bud!

[evilcowboy]

nice ML. good job

[Metallicafan1234]

Deans own. Solo was Epic. Good stuff man!

[kevkec16]

amazin more than amazin its absolutly !!!!!!!!!!!!GOODLIKE!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

i wish i can play this two xD

[karlhby]

sorry i take that back i didnt turn it up so i could here u sorry bro

[karlhby]

what aload of bollocks if u go to the 1977 live free bird and go to the solo is sounds exactly the same nice try asshole

[wettowel]

HAHAHAH! "feel the pain" LMAO

thats so true man, fuck..

how does someone bend the 22nd fret of a string that well??, I'm guessin theres no way around it...just gotta practice more

[tubbi5000]

Exellent!!

[kafetzoglou]

Fantastic.... just decided 2 reform our band... this helps alot!

[sk8borntodie]

we dont need to up the volume with that quality... you should up the volume of your guitar and turn off the song...

[bluestreetcar]

Thanks bro

[aindensum]

Wow. Great job. I'm going to have to try some of them tricks. Amazing job dude.

[Bigschwang]

I love those pop ups haha :P gj really good interpretation

[rossington15]

awesome awesome

guess what i'm seeing skynyrd tomorrow at riverbend

[hoblitzell1010]

i saw theme here in colombus with hank jr. absouloutly blew my mind.

[lightbell]

Dean Guitars are a bit wierd tho

great solo :)

[coffinmug63]

i still have a little trouble with the one at around 2 minutes any tips like the guy before me like a walkthrough plz?

[bluestreetcar]

Sure.

Begin with the G string and bend it at the 14th fret. Next, hit the E string at the 12th fret. Next, fret the B string at the 15th fret and pull off to the 12th fret.

Learn it correctly and slowly and the speed will follow.

Thanks and have fun with it.

KEEP IT LOUD

[willfen]

can you tell me how you play the riff between 0.35 and 0.40.?? im trying to learn and cant get that bit right. nice job btw :)

[bluestreetcar]

Sure.

Hold your pick still and bend the B string (at 15th fret) pass the pick and pull back down, once down, pull off to the 12th fret.

The first note is played on the up stroke.

The second is heard when it's pulled down.

The third is heard when the B string is pulled off from the 15th fret to the 12th.

Don't move your pick is the "trick".

Good Luck,

Tommy Blue

[TheBeirt]

you didnt even turn up the volume knob like YOU said to do

[lemoners]

God that's such an awful solo. I don't understand people's obsession. It's just a bunch of different pentatonic licks repeated over and over in different octaves.  I can't even listen to the whole solo because it's freakin annoying!

Props to the player here for actually learning it note for note, and start to finish.

[xkxlxkx]

It's not a solo...It's a challenge to a guitar duel....No takers to date.

[kyryan]

cool

[Spurfan135]

thats pretty good, how long have u been playing???

[AndeDK]

awesome job man :) Wish i could do it that well

[LumiRock]

(as i know)at 3:10 you should band in fret 22/24(im sure u know) but that had 22 frets...

good job man and keep rockin':D

[bluestreetcar]

Hello.

That riff is played with a bent B string on the 22nd fret and a strike to the E string right below the B string on the 22nd fret.

Thanks for stoppin' by ♫♪♫♪♫

[guitarherocentral911]

u rock,and is that a dean??

[lebtu]

[dmander9000]

[chevyrulesu]

ah you know your good when you make it look that easy nice job

[gitar64]

nice man ur good

[juanuti]

10/10...Daaaaaamn

[TheHeadkicker]

Dude, how do you do that part towards the end that Allen plays live, but not in the recorded version?

[bluestreetcar]

The video I played along with ended where I stopped with those pull offs on the 4th and 7th frets. The song does go on for about three more minutes. I can play it through but haven't had the time to get it recorded. I'm playing in a band now and time is short all around.

Thanks for the question and stopping by. ♫♪♫

[Zamboner666]

This Is Fucking Amazing 5/5 Without A Doubt

[DWilsonPromo]

Cool dude. NEVER stop rockin.

Carlin would've wanted it that way.

[TonyBeazley]

[Grim611]

yea seriusly shut the fuck up do u hav any idea how hard is it to play that solo ive been playin 4 7 years and i havnt been able to master it so shut the hell up this is a great vid

[ShaneMac777]

yeah twisters2 go fuck yourself dude. All you do is play guitar hero? That game is huge waste of time. Why dont you get good at something productive?

[bluestreetcar]

Checked out your page "twister2". You play the video game "Guitar Hero". You are a wanna be.

Your comment is poor but expected from pieces of shit like you and your bean eating family. Get a real guitar and learn to play it. Until then, PISS OFF YOU POSER:)

[crazyade]

well said! amazing solo, wish i was half that good!

[DavetheRave33]

Very nice version. Is that a live version you are playing to?

[104mascioli]
